Multiplex MPX723470 Aero Tow Coupling

A simple, reliable and elegant method of connecting the aero-tow cable to the nose of a glider for aero-towing.

The principle has been popular for years; just attach a loop of thin nylon cord to the towline - nothing extra is required which could easily get lost at the flying field.

To operate the release all you need is a low-cost standard servo and length of 1.2 mm steel rod running in a snake outer sleeve.

The housing is made of eloxided aluminium, and the unit is simply glued in the extreme nose of the glider using thickened epoxy. Hole required: 10 / 12 mm, length 25 mm.
